Indoor Air Quality: Causes Of, Testing, and Monitoring Indoor Air Pollution

Treehugger.com has written a helpful article on Indoor Air Quality. Click here to read the full article.

Indoor air quality is typically 10 times worse than outdoors and since we spend 90% of our time indoors and 65% of that time is spent in our home, its important that our home is a healthy home.

Everything from the building materials, furniture, cleaning supplies, rugs, paints, sealers all effect the indoor air quality and these issues can be serious for people suffering from asthma and other health issues. Not to mention children. Did you know that children breathe 4 times as much air per pound of body weight as adults?!

When considering a remodel of your home, especially if you have children or people living in your home with chemical sensitivities or asthma look for green building products and/or e-mail me with any questions.
